HIV / AIDS Facts

Question: Can I use gels/films/suppositories to prevent HIV?

Answer:

No.  Gels, films, or suppositories (Microbicides) can kill or neutralize viruses and bacteria. Researchers are studying both vaginal and rectal microbicides to see if they can prevent sexual transmission of HIV, but none are currently available for use.
